The chromosomes of an adenocarcinoma of the cervix uteri were studied by a direct squash method. A modal number of about 40 chromosomes was obtained from the differentiated portion of the tumor. A ring chromosome and a minute chromosome were seen in 58% of the hypodiploid cells. The undifferentiated portion of the tumor produced no satisfactory chromosomes for analysis.
